Jeffrey Epstein Dies Of “Suicide”

Disappointing everyone yet surprising no one, accused sex trafficker and alleged billionaire Jeffrey Epstein has “committed” “suicide”. Details are muddled and conflicting, with CNN reporting that Epstein “was taken from New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center at 3:30 a.m. Saturday in cardiac arrest and died at an area hospital” and the New York Timesreporting that “Mr. Epstein hung himself and his body was found this morning at roughly 7:30.”

Some reports claim that Epstein has been on suicide watch due to a prior alleged suicide attempt three weeks ago when he was found unconscious with bruising on his neck, others deny it. If he wasn’t it’s weird because he obviously should have been, and if he was it’s weird because it failed. Prisons vary greatly in how they implement suicide watch protocol, but at bare minimum it should mean that unsafe objects have been removed from the prisoner’s cell and monitoring has been greatly increased. Stockton University criminal justice professor Christine Tartaro told CNN in an interview on the subject in 2017 that on suicide watch “there should be constant, one-on-one eyes on (suicidal) inmates.”

Following Epstein’s arrest last month on federal sex trafficking charges, many people predicted that exactly this would happen, some half-jokingly and some not. This is because, as Whitney Webb of Mint Press News documented in a recent article titled “Mega Group, Maxwells and Mossad: The Spy Story at the Heart of the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal”, Epstein appears to have been involved in a complex Mossad-tied sexual blackmail operation and had close ties with many powerful people, including Donald Trump and the Clintons. The narrative that the Clintons have a penchant for “suiciding” their enemies was already a viral idea in right-wing conspiracy circles, and many of the early prognostications of Epstein’s fate came from that side of the political aisle.

But those voicing skepticism about Epstein’s death today come from all across the political spectrum, from left to right and from fringe to mainstream.

“People close to Epstein fear he was murdered… as Epstein told authorities someone tried to kill him in a previous incident weeks earlier. He was described as being in good spirits in recent days,” claimsThe Washington Post‘s Carol Leonnig.

“Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, various billionaire wall st. goons, hollywood elites and royal family creeps breathe a sigh of relief. He happens to have dirt on every powerful scumbag alive, how mighty convenient!” tweetedSecular Talk‘s Kyle Kulinski.

“If Epstein’s death is still under investigation, and no one can explain yet how he killed himself, why is mainstream media reporting it definitively as a suicide? Even the FBI is calling it an ‘apparent suicide’,” tweeted journalist Max Blumenthal.

“How was Epstein not on the most intensive suicide watch protocol available???” tweeted journalist Michael Tracey.

“Scandalous. I supervised jail suicide investigations at DOJ. Experts will tell you that it’s essentially always true that jail inmate suicides are preventable, so when one happens it represents a major failure on the part of the jail,” tweeted human rights lawyer Sam Bagenstos.

“Something about this whole situation stinks,” legal analyst Rikki Klieman told CBS today. “What you have is someone who attempted suicide and now is on a suicide watch, and in the midst of the suicide watch manages to commit suicide? There are gonna be heads that will roll from the Bureau of Prisons looking at the [Metropolitan Correctional Center], because this is the type of situation where you do not know if it’s a suicide or you do not know if it is something else.”

A guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful men’s lives ends up dead in his jail cell. How predictably…Russian.

“A guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful men’s lives ends up dead in his jail cell. How predictably…Russian,” tweeted MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough to thousands of retweets and tens of thousands of likes.

This story is nuts. I personally am on record disagreeing with those on both sides of the aisle who’ve been claiming that the Epstein scandal was going to lead to mass arrests of extremely powerful people in Washington, because the swamp protects itself. We see that today clearer than ever. Whatever happened in that prison cell today, it made some nasty swamp monsters very happy.

“Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide ends the criminal case against him because no one else was charged in the indictment,” tweeted former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti, adding, “Epstein’s death means that there won’t be a public trial or other proceedings that could reveal evidence of his wrongdoing. Evidence collected via grand jury subpoena won’t be released to the public.”

I want to return and read all the comments but I would like to note that last night or this morning CBS said “shrieks and shouts” (from Epstein and his killer?) were heard coming from Epstein’s cell. And what does CBS offer up for the public? A psychiatrist talking about overactive amygdalas in people who believe in conspiracy theories. A psychiatrist from the same school which prescribes antidepressants for people who are starving. No nudnik like a psychiatrist nudnik.

Why is the image of Epstein’s ‘body’ by the New York Post a fake image?

Epstein’s head is too large relative to the other people around him. If it were this large his feet would be dangling over the end of the gurney. Perhaps he amputated his legs at the hip as part of his suicide?

The officer to left of head is wearing a FDNY fire department shirt.

The Orange boards stacked against the wall to the left of this officer are fire department boards. In a hospital admissions centre?

The sign on the far left partially reveals the words that one assumes means ‘please turn off engines’. Usually only found at fire stations, NEVER at hospital unloading points.

The wall to the right of center with the coiled yellow hose and box is filthy.

The officer in left foreground is wearing a bullet proof vest.

Other than New York Post there is no attribution to the photographer. I think this photographer should be nominated for a prize, can we have the name please as it is the scoop image of 2019.

Now can we find a photographer that can go to this location and film it accurately and detailed for the forensic record.

Rod Coffman/August 11, 2019

Three weeks ago they had Epstein in a cell with Nicholas Tartaglione a police officer who was in jail on charges of murdering four people. Really? They couldn’t pick a cellmate who was there for let’s say fraud, drug charges, or traffic violations? His cellmate was a murderer. I guess I’m a bit surprised this took three weeks.

Winston Smith/August 11, 2019

Here’s a thought on how to figure out if a story is being planted to manipulate people. Trace back on the history of the story. When did it appear? How did it get to you? For instance, of late the internet has been full of Jeffrey Epstein and Mossad stories. (spell check says Mossad isn’t even a word, apparently its down the memory hole). But here’s what’s interesting to me. To me, anyone who’s been paying attention to politics for the last 20 years or so has heard the name Jeffrey Epstein. Certainly if you oppose the Clintons (spell-check error) from either their left or the whole group of Republicans. For those who read or watch videos about politics, I’d say its a pretty sure bet that they’ve heard the name Jeffrey Epstein, highly likely connected with Bill Clinton and trips on Epstein’s plane. So, I find it a bit strange that suddenly this whole Mossad (spell-check error) story is new to me. Now, OK, I grew up around the old KKK south, and thus hearing idiots say that the Jews control the world and run everything and everything links back to the Jews has been something I have completely discounted ever since I grew up and learned a bit more about the world. I tend to associate that with people who goes out and burns crosses at nite. I threw an awful lot of what I learned as a child away a long, long time ago, and that was one of the first to go. So, maybe there have been Jeffrey Epstein and Mossad (spell-check error) stories around for awhile and I haven’t heard them because I don’t hang out on 8chan nor read the The Daily Stormer(spell check error)? I don’t know? But it does seem weird that they seemed to me to show up in a flood all at once. Which makes it seem like someone is planting them and pushing them out, and the most likely reason behind that would be to serve as a distraction. Neither Epstein nor Mossad (sc error) had a good name before, so its not to smear either of them. The term red herring comes from dragging a dead fish across the trail to confuse the ace detective as if he was just a hunting hound.

Edrick/August 11, 2019

I noticed today that Guarddog (aka, UK Guardian, the dog that barks at you whenever you approach the limits of thoughts acceptable to the Oligarchs), is already talking about “conspiracy theories” concerning Epstein’s death. Wow, that was fast.

rhodowood/August 11, 2019

Is it known for sure that Epstein is really dead? All the speculation is about an alleged suicide. Did reliable independent sources see and identified the body? If not, could Epstein have been moved alive to a secret location?

Carolyn Zaremba/August 11, 2019

JRGJRG/August 11, 2019

Most people still believe Hitler committed suicide in his bunker because they found a burned body double, even though the records didn’t match. He faked his own death and lived out his life in comfort in an alpine Argentinian villa. An FBI record was found in the recent JFK papers that substantiated that. ;Scholars have verified. Stalin never believed it.

Epstein’s “suicide” is further evidence that the U.S. justice system is a complete joke, totally corrupt, and fake. The judicial branch is bought and paid for, the legislative branch is too, and the executive branch makes it three for three. The ruling sociopaths are going to cover all the bases, which is why the mainstream media is bought and paid for as well. Sociopaths are wired to control things, and they’ve had well over 100 years to gain control of everything necessary for full spectrum dominance. Gaining control of the monetary system in 1913 was the critical first step. Once they obtained the power to create money and lend it out at interest, they had all the money they would need to buy up everything else. And that’s exactly what they have done. It’s why the wealth gap is so pronounced. Epstein’s “suicide” is subtle proof of their control.

This is probably all been staged to revitalize Hollywood film-goers. The new film will contain all the human interest triggers and will have multiple endings to select from. You won’t get to see Epstein any longer; he has ascended into heaven to be with 40 virgins for his gallant patriotism.

cutthecord/August 11, 2019

the federal judge Marioto is wrong. epstein’s associates and assistants are also suspects in the crimes, and victims are already demanding they be investigated, charged, tried and punished. the Deep State tries to close the book quickly, of course.

Epstein is not the kind of human being who feels suicidal. he’s no dummy either. he must have had multiple insurance policies against “Arkancide”. the most likely scenario is, he’s alive in Israhell, and protected there as a national hero.

cutthecord/August 11, 2019

I’m very sure that Epstein was on “Suicide Watch” ……………………..BUT……. certainly not because anyone was AFRAID he just might try. The powers that be (his accomplices) were WATCHING to make absolutely CERTAIN that he would never testify, spilling the names of those that were as, or more guilty than he was.

John K/August 11, 2019

Whether he committed suicide or was murdered, the very fact that a great many, if not most U.S. citizens would not be surprised if he was murdered speaks volumes about the state of affairs in this country. No one in position of authority can be trusted, and more and more of us are becoming aware of the fact.

Marshalldoc/August 11, 2019

As one of my more perceptive correspondents suggested; there’s no proof as yet that Epstein’s actually dead. He could have been spirited away, Mission Impossible’ style to some convenient & isolated kibbutz in Israel to feast in perpetuity on ‘detained’ Palestinian children [Akin to this Robot Chicken video ‘Walt Disney Must Feed’ – https://youtu.be/XIeB2Q2xmZQ%5D. As she said: “SHOW US THE BODY!!”

On a related note, while everyone’s laser-focused on sordid activities of the ‘right hand’… anyone wondering what the left hand’s doing while nobody’s watching?

The wicked witch of the East is finally dead, and we can now all go back to Kanas and live happily ever after, because none of this ever really happened; just a bad dream, and now we can all go back to sleep.

Imnotalone/August 10, 2019

WOW, don’t see this coming!!’ LMAO. I have to agree with Caitlin, Elvis sightings are forthcoming.

We know that smoke doesn’t always indicate fire, but you’d better have a look see.

Recall Pizzagate? There certainly was a good bit of of smoke there, but no one paid much attention. At least law enforcement state/federal and their cohorts in the MSM avoided turned a blind eye.

Given the long, verifiable track record of the elites feasting on our young to satisfy their lusts. I’m not surprised that Pizzagate was swept up,as the accusations of conspiracy theorist were quickly bantered about.

Any cursory glance was enough to warrant a close look. Unless, of course you believe in coincidences and there were plenty to choose from

JM/August 11, 2019

Absolutely correct, Imnotalone. Pizzagate was real. There was indeed a basement at Comet Pizza (one of the points that the deniers try to use to discredit Pizzagate investigators), as James Alefantis references in this 2015 interview: ……….

“Like our sauce — we harvest a whole crop of organic tomatoes — 10 tons of tomatoes every year. Can them all, store them in the basement, have like a harvest party when it gets loaded in.”

Pedophilia is very common. We don’t know the actual statistics because the vast majority of victims never report the crime; many never tell a single person about it. The notion that rich and powerful people don’t participate in pedophilia is absurd. Their raw desire for power, and their tendency to think that rules don’t apply to them, makes them even more likely to be pedophiles, IMHO.

JRGJRG/August 11, 2019

colleen/August 10, 2019

There is no way Epstein would have voluntarily returned to the US last July simply to then commit suicide. He could have easily gone to his Mossad masters in Israel because Israel never extradites Zionist criminals who seek refuge there. I’m of the school he’s got the kill switch and will be given plastic surgery and a get out of jail free card. We’re familiar with the MO (McVeigh, Barbara Olson, Kenneth Lay, etc). Stay tuned for alot of Elvis sightings.

cutthecord/August 10, 2019

Getting rid of ” embarrassing human problems ” are specialties of the CIA, Mossad, and the Mafia who all had an interest in make Mr. Epstein disappear forever. This is, after all, New York City where every major crime is swept under the rug!

D'Angelo Barksdale/August 10, 2019

What strikes me about seeing this in the day’s news is that absolutely zero details of how he committed suicide are released. They don’t say that he was found, just to make something up, hanging from bed sheets from the upper bunk of a bed in his cell. Nope, they just say he was found dead. They don’t say suspected suicide. They just firmly say suicide, no questions to be asked. They don’t say anything about an investigation. So, a prominent inmate is found dead and they just take the cell block’s guards word for it? Its just official. CNN says it was suicide, so its suicide. You must believe what the Screens tell you or else you’ll be denounced as a Russian troll, because only a Russian troll would eve doubt what CNN says. These days, they don’t even bother with cover stories and fake details. Believe what you are told, or else.

Juan Durduz/August 10, 2019

JRGJRG/August 10, 2019

This suicide watchers’ eyes were wide shut. Now the media tactic will be to try to gaslight anyone and everyone that rejects the suicide theory as a conspiracy theorist or a Putin puppet. Committing suicide on a suicide watch is a far more preposterous conspiracy theory.

Greg/August 10, 2019

Carolyn Zaremba/August 10, 2019

I’m a little surprised, Caitlin, that you are jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon so early. Although it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if certain entities took it upon themselves to silence Epstein for their own protection, I would wait a minute and see what develops. Epstein was a high-priced pimp who sampled the merchandise and found it tasty, agreed. He had rich and powerful men who used his services, agreed. He was a creep. Yes. But I want to know more. It is possible that he took the coward’s way out, of course. Guessing correctly that this time he wouldn’t be allowed to serve time in his office, he might have been unable to face his fate. I await developments.

LSJohn/August 10, 2019

There’s a rational limit to avoiding a jump to a conclusion. He was injured in his cell previously and told a friend someone tried to kill him; he was placed on a suicide watch, which means in a cell that contains no objects capable of causing death; protocol requires “eyes on” the prisoner at all times. Under such circumstances, suicide would have been virtually impossible, AND, failure to silence him would have sent the wrong message to the victims of whomever he had been collecting data for.

Levi Tate/August 10, 2019

How very Americanesque. — Being American means having the right to never know for sure what really happened. — (in no particular order, and not comprehensive) — The attack on the USS “Liberty”. — 9/11 — The 2014 coup in Kiev. — JFK assassination — The 2011 killing of “Bin Laden” — The silencing of Lee Harvey Oswald — to be continued…

D'Angelo Barksdale/August 10, 2019

Vince Foster was another name who was dangerous to the Clintons who was found suicided in suspicious circumstances and never really investigated. Seth Rich would be another name on the list, but They wrote that one up as a murder/robbery.

Jp Jude/August 10, 2019

You’re right, Ms Johnstone, but the more interesting point is the SPEED of Epstein’s death. I think the swamp protects itself, too, but the fact Epstein died so quick means the swamp monster, if you will, is finding it harder and harder to keep information from the internet. Control of the narrative, I think, is slipping away; I think that is good for most of us, I would not want to be one of the 1%. They’ve got targets on their back and an internet that is prone to vulnerabilities. While everyone was looking at Epstein, a few, but some did, saw the news about 3fun….

Um, and who’s to say he is dead? Did we go to the moon? I wasn’t there to really know. Were on the moon when it happened? This It is all based on faith. Do you believe the Federal Justice system? Would you believe an agency who’s director – J Edgar Hoover – cross dressed? The US government covered up Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty where many US Sailors died in that attack. The US has a population of 300 million – more or less – Israel 5 million. Yet who dictates US foreign policy? So Epstein, most likely was a Mossad agent and knows too secrets regarding blackmail and top Public officials. Yeah he could easily be killed in jail. Kennedy and Oswald were murdered in broad day light on TV! Inside the corrupt US “justice” system – due to the NDA act – anyone can be swept away in the night and without a trial to be disappeared. Could anyone actually get into our jail system and murder someone? Noooooo! The next point I’d like to make is, is Epstein really dead? Remember when Kenneth Lay went to prison and then “died” in prison not long after? Did he really? Were you there? No you weren’t. So, how do you know? Ken could be relaxing somewhere, out of sight, out of mind, in a witness protection like program; or, chilling on an island like Jeffery had somewhere. Now maybe the Mossad – or the Mob – figured Jeffery was just too hot and took him out. But, maybe he isn’t dead. could anyone within the “justice” system be paid – or threatened – to lie. You bet. did some sitting President – worried about his past – sign an executive order to free Jeffery and everyone agree to keep quiet about it or they will end up in some CIA, dark op, torture base. Jeffery might now be chilling in some underground military base and right now ordering at a Burger King down there.

There were people here in Japan to die from them and the aftermath. Now, the first moon landing requires faith from us, since nobody – then – was there. But if we did go actually go up there back then, maybe UFO’s were there waiting for us. So, maybe they had to fake it to hide the UFOs!

Florida Man Shot by FBI Was About to Sign Boston Murder Confession: Officialshttps://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/fbi-shoots-florida-man-linked-boston-marathon-bombing/story?id=19231642 If you tell the FBI you know something that threatens the establishment narrative during questioning you could be putting yourself in great danger. Epstein might have represented a threat to the FBI itself, the very people who were holding him. He probably had the goods on some high level FBI officials, people like Comey for example, who probably wanted him silenced, too. The FBI is the deep state, along with the CIA. It’s so easy to infiltrate an agent into a jail if they’re supposed to be doing the watching.

Bahmi/August 10, 2019

You have to balance the chances for suicide with the chances for murder, and top it all with the possibility Epstein is walking down Tel Aviv streets with dark glasses on and enjoying himself. Why would “they” kill somebody who was of such value to Mossad for blackmail? After all, Mossad/Tel Aviv runs the US!

Rob/August 10, 2019

If Epstein had been working for the Mossad (which is a conspiracy theory, not a proven fact), his usefulness is over. The spooks would already have the incriminating evidence that they sought. There is zero chance that Epstein is walking the streets as a free man anywhere in the world. His usefulness now is as a dead person.

Guy/August 11, 2019

I would suspect that whoever Epstein was in league with ,mossad,CIA,FBI would have all the goods already.The goods on all the guests that visited the island or his condo , which makes Epstein expendable .But who knows and we will we ever know for sure , I don’t think so.he could have been wacked or like you say , he could be walking in Tel Aviv streets.

Cliff/August 10, 2019

Doubtful he’s dead at all… An accomplished blackmailer would have had “dead man’s switches” which would release tons of ugly info upon his death. Unless they found all those switches, he’ll likely live the rest of his life in luxury on some tropical isle… never to be seen again. Perhaps they’ll have a “burial at sea”, quick cremation, or an orchestrated autopsy, and a hollywood-quality stand-in for an open-casket funeral.

The only people he can threaten who aren’t already in the snare are the people “running” him. What if all he knows is that it is CIA or Mossad. He cannot hurt either of them by saying so because he can’t prove it and it just looks too likely to be a lying excuse. The only people he has dirt on are the people he set out to set up.

The question is, is he really dead?… The gangs of Mossed and CIA that used his services are killing him? Is this exactly what the media moguls have created as fake news, while his death is in suspension and he is whisked off to Israel and secretly undergoes facile reconstruction?

No one would ever find him in the fake world of deception and illusion we live in, Zombie USA! … Billionaire dies in jail and the twin towers were taken down by planes!!!!

When waking in the morning, one must ask ones self to be free of the latter and ask for wisdom that’s outside the box of contemporized reasoning and false teaching… The latter is the nemesis of the masses… and I do include myself as part of that herd, with one exception… I know I have been brainwashed!

Jim KABLE/August 10, 2019

Well of course he’s been murdered – Trump and cronies saved from further exposure – the same from Prince Charles’ next younger brother – the one formerly married to the red-headed Ferguson woman of sucked toes shame.

“Arkancided” in a suicide watch cell, without belt or shoelaces, with constant video surveillance by a “trained officer”… I think the quarreling elite/deep-state factions negotiated an end to Jeffrey. Ghislane Maxwell is nowhere to be seen, not charged, and appears to have been Mossad, like her dead-or-disappeared dad. Epstein’s “handler”.http://www.johndayblog.com/2019/08/epsteins-arkancide.html

Excerpt from "Mainstream 'Centrists' Pose The Greatest Ideological Threat To Us All":

People like Ashton Kutcher imagine that the so-called “center” is called that because it sits smack dab in the middle of the ideological spectrum between communism and fascism, right in that moderate sweet spot that respects capitalism and private ownership without flying off the deep end into Nazi-like tyranny. In reality, the status quo exists entirely outside any left-right paradigm. It’s neither “left” nor “right” to give total control of the western world to an alliance of plutocrats and opaque government agencies who seek to expand their power and wealth by destroying our ecosystem, waging endless wars, and gradually shoring up more and more control of their citizenry via internet censorship, surveillance and police militarization. It’s just crazy.

I’m picking on Ashton not because he occupies some special place in all this, but because he doesn’t. He’s just an illustration of how blind people have become to the real threat that’s right in front of them, and how normalized insanity has become.

People who identify as “left” see the ruling power establishment as right-wing, people who identify as “right” see the ruling power establishment as left-wing, and people who identify as “center” see themselves as moderates whose normal, healthy way of life is under threat by the “far right” and “far left”. But really all that’s happening is a few assholes fucking over everyone else, which is no more “left” or “right” than a terrorist attack. The left versus right argument doesn’t even make sense until this far more pressing issue has been resolved. A Bernie supporter and a Trump supporter are arguing about left versus right while trapped in a room with a tiger who’s eating them both alive.
